Court remands Israel Garza without bond after failure to answer docket
Summary
The judge ordered Israel Garza remanded without bond after the defendant did not answer the 9 a.m. docket call and could not be located by 11:36 a.m.; court directed deputies to take remand actions and set a recall for late September to check federal custody status.
The court found that Israel Garza failed to answer the docket and ordered the defendant remanded without bond. Court minutes record that the hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m.; by 11:36 a.m. the defendant had not answered the docket and deputies reported negative contact when hallway announcements were attempted. The court ordered remand and directed the state and deputies to take the appropriate custody steps.
Defense and the court discussed whether the defendant might be in federal custody; counsel estimated a federal sentence or transfer delaying the local case. The court recalled Garza for a status update at the end of September and instructed defense to coordinate with counsel and the federal docket to clarify custody status and any plea offers.
